Lucasarts hooks up with steam, old school goodness to ensue

Lucasarts teased us on Friday about a special announcement and the news is fairly big as the company announced today that it is partnering with Steam to release a bunch of old school PC games on the service. Here's the first batch of games that they will be releasing this Wednesday on the service:

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure

LOOM

Star Wars Battlefront II

Star Wars Republic Commando

Star Wars Starfighter

The Dig

Thrillville: Off the Rails

While I'm disappointed there's no X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter or Maniac Mansion on the list it is nice to see older games like LOOM and the Indiana Jones game make the cut. The Lucasarts twitter account does point out that this is the first batch of games so there's hope that we'll see many other gems from the Lucasarts vault make their way to the service
